The Songs I Didn't Write

when you have gone to bed

and i am alone inside my head

i turn on the stereo

the one only i can no

and i hear the songs

that i didn't write

i hear what they sounded like

all over town (x3)

it would have made me crack

what would have fallen from your eye

would have destroyed our love

and i would say

oh my god (x2)

what was i thinking of

every night it plays a little louder

telling me to sing an little louder

telling me i can't escape

escape the way i am a little louder

every night i open up my folder

to collect the words

i heard in the songs

that i didn't write

i heard what they sounded like

all over town (x3)

but when you heard the notes

that would have vaunted from my throat

there is an meaning past the awfulness

that something pure and true

that would have been great

it would have made me cry

what would have fallen from my eye

merely had poisoned me

and i would say

oh my god (x2)

i had to get it out

every night it plays a little louder

telling me to sing an little louder

telling me i can't escape

escape the way i am

an little louder

every night an pen is getting drier

writing down the words

i sing in the songs

that i didn't write

i seen what they sounded like

all over town (x3)

but when you heard the poem

that would have shook around our home

there is an chance

it could have broken down the walls

through round our bed

it could have been great

i hear the songs and what they sounded like (x4)

i hear the songs
